No Standing Down Under

AustraliaFirst Sign

Continuing with Darren Hodges on our international trip we head to Australia. Messr. Hodges runs a signspotters website. The circled “S” wasn’t obvious to me and luckily Hodges pointed out that it means no standing, or stopping.

I appreciate Hodges solution to this sign, vearing away from the more obvious but ultimately more boring solution that could have been provided.

8 + 4 - 3 = 9

This sign is located in Stratford, Victoria. The GPS coordinates are approximately S37 58 4.54 E147 5 5.54. See sign on map!

    Also, one could note 9/3 = log(base sqrt(4))(8), or log3(9)=8/4, or…

    Another sign with the dash begging to be used for subtraction: 8 - 9 = 3 - 4

    Also

    sqrt(9) + sqrt(4) = 8 - 3
